Last week I had several meetings with customers where I also showcased the #PegaProx project for #Proxmox.

The feedback was honestly amazing. Many were impressed by how PegaProx brings essential enterprise grade features to Proxmox clusters that are still missing today. We can clearly see the gaps that were fixed by #ProxLB, #ProxSnap, #ProxCLMC, #ProxPatch and many other ones! Keep in mind, PegaProx is free and fully #opensource!

That said, we know there's always room for improvement. Whether it is major enhancements or small quality of life tweaks, every detail matters. Over the weekend, I took your feedback from the calls seriously and integrated a number of improvements to make PegaProx even more intuitive and powerful.

Your input drives this project forward. If you feel something is missing or could be improved, let us know!

PS: Pegaprox also support #XCP (#XCPng) ans corss-cluster / cross-hypervisor migrations. So, you can quickly jump over to XCP 🙂

Proxmox ist mehr als nur ein Hypervisor. 🚀

Am nächsten Donnerstag zeigen wir euch beim Business-Frühstück, was das Ökosystem wirklich kann. Unsere Experten Alexander Wirt und das Team geben Einblicke in:
✅ Proxmox für Ein- und Umsteiger
✅ ProxLB & Pegaprox
✅ Automatisierung in der Infrastruktur

Egal ob IT-Admin oder Entscheider – nutzt die Chance zum Fachsimpeln!

Hier geht’s zu den Details: https://luma.com/gvxo673b

Virtualisierung & „Rheinischer Kaviar“: Proxmox Business-Frühstück · Luma

Schluss mit der „Black Box“ Virtualisierung! Haben Sie sich auch schon gefragt, ob es eine echte Open-Source-Alternative zu den gängigen (und teuren)…

#ProxPatch for #Proxmox VE Clusters!

Automate the most repetitive operational task in Proxmox: keeping cluster nodes updated! ProxPatch drains, migrates, patches, and reboots nodes in a controlled rolling fashion — no downtime, no manual intervention.

ProxPatch is written in Rust and fully #opensource.

The #ProxLB for #Proxmox Discord chat just moved to a new location!

As several people on Discord’s free plan are limited to join servers, I merged them all into a single one with different rooms. The new one is also for all ProxTools like #ProxLB, #ProxSnap, #ProxCLMC, #ProxWall and other projects!

You can simply join at: https://discord.gg/p9UxdMnx

PS: The #IRC and #Matrix bridge will be recreated asap!

It's #FOSDEM time again!

Happy to meet you all again and you can't really miss me! Just poke me - happy about chats!

#RUNBSD, do #opensource, chats about #Proxmox #ProxLB and #PegaProx or anything else like #BoxyBSD or business related content at #credativ!

#PegaProx as a multi-cluster, node & vm manager for #Proxmox based systems is just around the corner!

PegaProx steps in as a real manager with a feature set that you might already know from enterprise solutions which simplifies and standardizes the management of Proxmox based infrastructures.

Each capability focuses on reducing operational complexity while giving operators full control over clusters, nodes, storage, and virtual machines like:

  • Unified Multi Cluster Management
  • Node and Cluster Monitoring
  • User & Group Management
  • Semi-automated Node Security Patch Management
  • Cross Cluster Migration
  • Virtual Machine & Container Management
  • CPU Alignment over Nodes for safe VM live-migrations
  • Intelligent Load Balancing for VMs
  • Intelligent Load Balancing for Storage
  • High Availability and Failover
  • User-, Group- & Tenancy Management
  • And much more...
Instead of just providing and visualizing metrics you can finally completely manage the whole stack: Creating VMs, adding storage, maintenances, PVE node patch management, DRS alike balancing by #ProxLB, CPU compatibility mode for VMs across all nodes (like #ProxCLMC), Tenant support, API and much more!

This will become a game changer for Proxmox users - especially in enterprises which adds all the often requested but missing functions!

You can already find my first insights about it in my blog post: https://gyptazy.com/blog/pegaprox-real-datacenter-manager-proxmox-clusters/

@[email protected] @[email protected] Xen was developed for security, KVM for performance. Nowadays, they don’t differ much in those aspects (even they’re completely different architecturell concepts). One thing was mono-threaded disk devices which came on a par by the count of VM instances but as said, nothing for nowadays anymore.

Today, it’s more about conceptions designs and “orchestrators”. Everyone is talking about Proxmox as a KVM orchestrator/frontend but it also has some major cons. The multi-master architecture with corosync may not fit always (cluster size, latency, distance,..). I crafted a solution for this (#ProxWire https://cdn.gyptazy.com/talks/ProxWire_Connecting_Proxmox_Clusters_Around_the_World_Without_Corosync.pdf) but this also comes with some pitfalls.

With my tools like #ProxLB (bringing in DRS alike resource scheduling which also got invited for a presentation at the Dutch Proxmox Day 2025), #ProxCLMC for something like EVC evaluation, #ProxSnap (snapshot manager), ProxWall (microsegmentation) and #ProxWire, I try to fill the gaps my customers have.

Personally, I like #xcpng really much and it’s closer to the VMware approach while #proxmox might provide a faster quickstart (where often people later run into issues). The best is like always: evaluate your requirements and see which fits best.

#ProxLB 1.1.11 for #Proxmox clusters introduces many new features and now fully aligns with Proxmox’s native HA rules.

ProxLB 1.1.11 was released, focusing on deeper integration and smarter balancing for Proxmox VE clusters. This version introduces a beta integration with Proxmox’s native HA and affinity/anti-affinity rules (please report any kind of bugs!), allowing ProxLB to work seamlessly with existing placement constraints instead of duplicating them.

The balancing behavior has also been improved: operators can now prefer smaller or larger VMs during placement, and node memory reservations are respected to reduce overcommitment.

Overall, 1.1.11 makes ProxLB more predictable, safer, and better suited for production use, while paving the way for future HA-aware scheduling improvements.
